theres not alot of meat, just a bunch of bone scale and gut. you should try and vary the diets with more than just fish. Depending on the type of turtle.

they carry a lot of parasites. mine got a tapeworm from them. i had him for like 6 months adn he had gotten bigger so i was using goldfish as main meal. i came home and there was one long worm all wrapped around the tank. after that i learned goldfish are bad. use rosie reds or minnowsd. i go fishing and just freeze panfish now to thaw out later for his meals
